National Mexican chain eyes North Mississippi

We hear good things about Salsarita’s but don’t get your hopes up yet.

Important to note from the press release – this is a five year plan and no sites have been secured. The developer says he wants to open two locations in North Mississippi next year and Tupelo might be on the list.

Sun-Kai to have buffet AND menu ordering on final day

Sorry, Sun-Kai fans, but Tupelo’s oldest Chinese restaurant is still on schedule to close on Saturday, Dec. 22.

Biz Buzz dropped by on Friday to get some sweet and sour shrimp and the Four Happiness, and we were told the restaurant will have its first and only buffet on Dec. 22 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

But because a lot of loyal customers said not all their favorites could possibly be on the buffet, Sun-Kai will have it’s finale from about 3:30 p.m “until” for those who want to order off the menu for one last time.
